Who has been looking at our Blog??

As a point of interest (well, for me anyway!), here is a summary of where people have been looking at our blog from since it was created earlier this year.The number refers to how many times our Blog has been accessed from that place.

New Zealand     726
United States        28
France                 19
Slovakia               19
Russia                    8
United Kingdom     7
Germany                6
Czech Republic      3
Japan                     2
Slovenia                 2
Australia                 1

Your homework challenge for this week is to find these places on the globe, and to tell me what each country's capital city is. As I am only asking this question on the blog, I will only be awarding prizes to those who email me their answers!! grant@freeville.school.nz
